I would say .75" to 1" drop, Most kits are 1". SYE is the proper way to fix death wobble, and most say that t-case drop is a band-aid, but if it works, then good for you. But you can use, spacers, nuts, washers etc for the drop.

SYE and deathwobble are completely unrelated. Deathwobble is from worn out steering components. SYE eliminates driveline vibs which is what is being experienced here
